The BARBERSHOP

Brooklyn Barber Academy (located in Boulder, Colorado) is a full-service barbershop and salon for men, women, teens, and children. Our barbers and stylists are experienced professionals who provide a wide variety of services and welcome all types of hair.
Our Academy provides formal and informal education and mentorship opportunities for young people and aspiring and professional hair stylists. We work with Green Circle Salons to reduce our environmental footprint. Our green practices include donating hair, recycling foil and aerosol, and using energy-efficient heating and lighting. |

Our TEAM
Ja'Mal
|
Ja'Mal Gilmore started cutting hair in Brooklyn, NY at the age of 15. Since moving to Boulder, he has cut hair at various barbershops and salons, including Paul Morrison Colours, Floyd's Barbershop, and Urban Pearl Salon. Many of Ja'Mal's customers have followed him around town over the years—and ultimately to Brooklyn Barber Academy.
Ja'Mal cuts, styles, and colors all types of hair for men, women, and children. He continues to deepen his knowledge and practice through regular trainings and workshops. When not behind the chair, you'll find Ja'Mal at the Valmont Bike Park—with his six-year-old son—riding and jumping their BMX bikes. |

Stacy Rahall graduated from cosmetology school in 2007 and shortly thereafter opened her own salon in Fayetteville, West Virginia. During her nine years as owner of Gorge-ous Hair Designs, Stacy served all types of clients, from kids' first haircuts to her elderly lady regulars.
"I love the art of hair," Stacy says, "and being challenged with different haircuts." Stacy tailors her cuts to each client's unique hair and desired style. She especially loves cutting hair with a razor. Stacy, her boyfriend, and their puppy arrived in Colorado in their minibus in October 2017. "Soon as I walked through the door of Brooklyn Barber Academy," she says, "I fell in love with the music and vibes radiating from the place." Stacy joined the team in January 2018. |
